Cheating by the umps

 

How in the world was that not a Frittata mark?

Umps back to their std form

STD - quite appropriate really.

    Is it super greasy, or have we forgotten how to mark a ball, or both? This is horrible to watch.


    Our form is not it. Let’s get this win and move on. 

    We've let them back into the game because of our dreadful finishing

    Second half will be a grind

     

    I'm pretty fu**ing [censored] off after that. 

    We have that much talent on the ground compared to them and are playing a weak brand of football.

    Really disappointing.

    Because he didn’t control an easy mark and was too busy looking where he was going to kick it before he took control of the ball

    We should be 30 points up.

    But no, once again our forward [censored] the bed when the opportunity presents itself.

    Our backline is saving our bacon and doing a tremendous job down back.

    Hope Steven May absolutely gives our forwards an absolute spray.

    Umps aren’t influencing this game. Our poor execution is though.

    Aside from a couple of 50/50s that have gone their way I didn’t the umpiring was too bad. But then again I did watch the dogs game last night so perhaps I have been desensitized.

    Most frustrating game since the hawks draw.

    We really are so much better than them - but poor execution, missed simple handballs... ugh. So frustrating

    Terrible game of footy. We need to get back to basics, commit the body and just bank 4 points tonight. We’re in poor form so far this year, but like good teams do we’re grinding out wins despite not paying well.

    Trac having a bad night.

    Need more from Harmes, Kozzie, Friita and Tmac.

    Sw our best forward.

    Seriously I hope Goodwin tells them to get back to basics & get back to what we did well in that 1st quarter.

    We tried to do a bit to much that quarter when we just had to do the first option.

    It isn't pretty to watch

    Oh and kicking goals would be a good start

    Whoever said we’re playing like millionaires is spot on.

    Gotta get back to a more contested game style.

    It's like watching 10 years ago.

    100%. But we seem to do that in every 2nd quarter we play.

    Stop over possessing and get the ball moving forward.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
